The TaskChain module allows several elearning "tasks" to be connected together into a "chain" which forms a single Moodle activity. The activity is accessed by clicking on a link on a Moodle course page.

The TaskChain module is the successor to the QuizPort module for Moodle 1.x and the HotPot module for Moodle 2.x.

The download on this page is compatible with any version of Moodle 2.x.

Features

a single TaskChain activity can contain more than one task, so there is less clutter on the Moodle course page and in the Moodle grade book

pre-conditions can be added to any task to prevent access until the conditions are met

post-conditions can be added to any task to specify what happens after a task is finished

a square bracket notation allows links, images, sounds and movies to be easliy inserted into quizzes without the need for the teacher to input HTML code

output formats for each task can be selected in Moodle, e.g. a JCloze quiz has the following output formats: standard, DropDown, FindIT and JGloss (by Michael Rottmeier), ANCT-Scan (by John Herbert)

Comments

Howdy Gordon,
1. Where's the best place for us to provide feedback as we work with TaskChain?
2. Is there a way to get the scores of individual tasks from within a taskchain? Right now of course we can get the score of the entire "Unit" as a whole, but I'm hoping to get scores from the tasks that make up a chain.
Thanks,
Paul Kaiser

Hi everyone,
if you wish to ask questions, make suggestions, or report an issue about the TaskChain module, the best places to do so is either on the Moodle Tracker or on the Moodle HotPot forum. You will get faster and better response that way.

Gordon - German filed CONTRIB-4687 requesting that we provide a documentation URL. I see here that you mentioned using Moodle Tracker for issues; however, there is currently no component for the taskchain activity module. Would you rather use Github's issues - https://github.com/gbateson/moodle-mod_taskchain/issues - or would you prefer that I create a component in the tracker and make you the lead so that you can manage those issues and they will be automatically assigned to you. If you have any questions or need any help setting things up just let me know. Peace - Anthony
